"Kagero-sama, what was that purple thing just now?"
Jigumo, Kagero, and the rest of the Fuma Clan's people stood on the treetops, looking at the depths of the dense forest more than a hundred kilometers away.
That direction is exactly where Orochimaru's underground experimental base is located!
"It's the Four Violet Flames Formation."
Kagero's face darkened slightly, "It is a powerful barrier that needs four Jonin to be used! Orochimaru-sama has encountered a powerful enemy!"
Jigumo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Kagero with piercing eyes: "Kagero-sama, this is a good opportunity!"
Kagero fell silent.
'Orochimaru encountered a strong enemy not long after he came here, and since Fuma Clan followed him, I'm afraid we will go through hardships and dangers!'
'In that case…' Kagero turned to look at Jigumo, and said softly: "I will take the clansmen to support Orochimaru-sama. As for you… go to the black market and pick up a mission."
"I understand!"
Jigumo is very excited, "Kagero-sama, you should also pay attention to safety!"
After Jigumo left, Kagero rushed to Orochimaru's experimental base with a dozen Chunin.
But when they arrived, the battle was already over.
The underground experimental base seemed to have experienced an earthquake and completely collapsed. The ground was fragmented and covered with blood. The cracks were full of charred snake corpses, and the corpses of Konoha's Shinobi were sandwiched between them.
In the air, there was a pungent smell of blood, mud and snakes, which made people sick.
"Orochimaru-sama, I'm sorry, we are late." Kagero led the clansmen to kneel down on one knee, not daring to look around.
Orochimaru ignored them and looked straight at the letter in his hand.
The content of the letter is very simple. Orochimaru is invited to meet at the junction of the three countries of the Land of the Rivers, Land of Wind and Land of Rain within three days of receiving the letter to discuss major issues.
Thinking of the words 'organization' and 'boss' left by Hyōketsu when he left, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with playfulness.
'Do they want to…invite me to join their organization?'
'Interesting!'
Orochimaru glanced at Kimimaro. It must be known that after Kirigakure's civil war, Kekkei Genkai such as Shikotsumyaku and Ice Release were almost cut off. In this case, this 'boss' even dared to let Hyōketsu, who owns Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, to come to see him, 'Should I say that the boss of this organization is too arrogant, or has enough confidence in Yuki Aoi, or… is there another reason?'
Putting away the letter, Orochimaru glanced at Kagero and the others who were still kneeling on the ground, and was about to speak when a memory suddenly poured into his mind.
This memory comes from the shadow clone that Orochimaru ordered to stay at Fuma Clan's camp to monitor them before!
After receiving the memory, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Orochimaru's mouth.
"Where is Jigumo?" Orochimaru asked with a faint smile.
Kagero's scalp felt numb, but she still said bravely: "He went to the black market."
"Is that so…"
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his face, and said expressionlessly, "Kagero, the Konoha's Shinobi who attacked me before has been seriously injured and fled. I want you to immediately search in the direction of the Land of Fire and kill all these Konoha's Shinobi!"
Kageno's heart shuddered, and her teeth were almost chattering.
'Jigumo just set off to inform Konoha, so if I kill Konoha's Shinobi here, even if Jigumo succeeds in contacting Shisui of the Body Flicker, I'm afraid…'
"What's wrong?" Orochimaru looked at Kagero playfully, his golden vertical pupils were full of ridicule and disdain.
"I, I understand!"
Kagero gritted her teeth and responded.
She has no choice. If she refuses at this time, the Fuma Clan will be gone immediately!
Kagero got up, turned around and took the dozen Chunin to gallop towards the Land of Fire.
When they were far away, Orochimaru formed hand seal to create a shadow clone, and then said to Kimimaro and Jugo: "Follow my shadow clone to the next experimental base and don't stop along the way, understand?"
"Orochimaru-sama, are you not going with us?" Kimimaro was somewhat unwilling to part with Orochimaru.
"I still have something to deal with, so I will meet with you later." Orochimaru explained softly.
"Orochimaru-sama, please be careful!" Kimimaro knew that he was weak and couldn't help his Orochimaru-sama, so he could only obey orders.
After everyone left, Orochimaru turned around and set off towards the junction of the three countries of the Land of the River, Land of Wind, and Land of Rain.
...
Land of Fire.
Konoha, Root's Headquarters.
Because Eagle took away Wood Release Shinobi, Kinoe forcibly, Danzo, who flew into a rage, brutally destroyed the office.
But just as his anger subsided a lot, a memory suddenly floods into his head.
In the deep fatigue, Danzo's one eye was bloodshot and the veins on his forehead were completely exposed: 'Orochimaru!!!'
He mobilized half of the Root's Shinobi to hunt Orochimaru, but he didn't expect that they would not only fail, but also fail miserably!
After sending more than 80 Root's Shinobi, only more than 30 escaped in the end!!
Danzo was panting heavily. Looking so tired, so exhausted, so weak, so uncomfortable, so painful!!
Danzo kept taking deep breaths, but he still felt a throbbing pain in his chest. It is so painful that he couldn't breathe!!
"I need to calm down, I need to calm down, Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru, you can't defeat me, I am the Root of Konoha, I am the darkness of Konoha. Without me, there would be no light of Konoha! I am Konoha's only savior!!"
Danzo muttered to himself, and the madness in his left eye is getting stronger and stronger!
...
Kagero and the group of Fuma Clan's Chunin caught up with the thirty or so Root's Shinobi with missing arms and legs in less than ten minutes. When the two sides met, the scene was somewhat awkward.
The Root's Shinobi are gathered together to warm up, and the eyes under the mask stared at the Fumo Clan's people emotionlessly, without saying a word!
"Kagero-sama, they…they are Konoha's Anbu!!! What should we do?!"
Fuma Clan, who has little experience, can't tell the difference between Anbu and Root, but they know that once they killed these 'Konoha's Shinobi', it means that their Fuma Clan has officially turned against the strongest Shinobi Village in the Shinobi World!
"Kill them!!"
Kagero clenched her teeth. Konoha is still far away, but Orochimaru is close at hand. If they don't kill these 'Konoha's Anbu', the Fuma Clan will be wiped out soon.
As for Jigumo, she can only say sorry to him.
In less than five minutes, Fuma Clan killed the 30 Root's Shinobi, and then destroyed their corpses and all traces left behind!
After completing the series of embarrassing operations, Kagero took her clansmen and continued to search forward.
...
On the other side.
After Hyōketsu left, he hid in a secluded place, then he formed hand seal, and poured Chakra into the 'South' ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
The ring contains Nagato's Chakra and Rinnegan's pupil power. As soon as Hyōketsu's Chakra is poured in, it transforms into invisible ripples and spreads outwards through some weird way. When the ripples pass over to Hyōketsu, it seemed that even his thoughts were shrouded in it, spreading rapidly with the ripples.
Land of Rain.
The central steel tower.
Deva Path slowly opened his eyes. He received Hyōketsu's thoughts wave, and his pupil power flowed, directly turning Hyōketsu's thoughts wave into a fuzzy human form.
"It's incredible."
Hyōketsu looked at the steel floor under his feet, listened to the sound of rain outside the tower, and pretended to be very surprised!
"Has the letter been delivered?" Deva Path asked expressionlessly.
Hyōketsu nodded: "Yes, it has been handed over to Orochimaru."
"There is no accident, right?" Deva Path asked.
"Yes, when I found Orochimaru according to the intelligence, I found that Konoha's Anbu was besieging Orochimaru."
Hyōketsu said with a smile softly, "It seems that Konoha attaches more importance to Orochimaru than Uchiha Obito."
The subtext is that Uchiha Obito cannot be compared with Orochimaru at all, and it is too hasty to cooperate with him!
Deva Path did not respond, and directly changed the subject: "Your next mission is to go to the Land of Wind and cooperate with Konan to find Sasori of the Red Sand."
"Sasori of the Red Sand..."
Hyōketsu nodded slightly, "I understand, but how should I contact that Konan?"
"I will take care of that, then, that's all." Deva Path raised his eyes, and Hyōketsu's thought wave dissipated in an instant.
The Land of the River.
Hyōketsu opened his eyes. Just now, his thoughts were brought to Deva Pain, and he had a brief exchange with the other party, but at the same time, he could clearly feel that he had been staying where he was, like he was awake and dreaming, or… the feeling of doing two things at the same time?
'Is this why Nagato can control the Six Paths of Pain at the same time?'
Hyōketsu remembers this feeling in his heart, and felt that he needed to pass it on to the main body when he disbanded next time.
Just as he was thinking wildly, a weird white creature suddenly emerged from the grass in front of him, and greeted him frivolously: "Oh hi, Yuki Hyōketsu!"
Hyōketsu's pupils shrank when he saw this.
Although he knew that Zetsu could definitely move at ultra-high speed with the help of underground roots, groundwater and other substances, he didn't expect it to be so fast!
'How long has it been?'
'Five seconds?'
'Ten seconds?'
'Or, this White Zetsu has been following me?'
When Zetsu entered the ground and moves at high speed, no Sensor Ninjutsu could discover his existence. If the White Zetsu in front of him kept following him around, he really can't find him!
Fortunately, he is very cautious. He has no habit of talking to himself, and he thoughts of all the problems in his mind, without revealing the slightest flaw!
These thoughts flashed through Hyōketsu's mind quickly, without revealing anything.
"Your face?"
On the surface, Hyōketsu showed puzzled expression as he looked at White Zetsu.
"Don't worry about these details, I'm just a clone."
White Zetsu exposed half of his body, then drew a map on the grass with his fingers, and said, "That's the end of the gossip. Your current mission is to help Konan. She is currently in the Land of Wind, and this is her specific location."
Hyōketsu looks at the grass expressionlessly. White Zetsu used '~' to represent the border line, '^' to represent the mountain peak, and 'x' to represent Konan's location. Looking at the abbreviated map, and then looking at White Zetsu, whose hands were on his hip and a smile on his face, Hyōketsu said sarcastically: "You are really an amazing painter!"
White Zetsu looked down at the map and asked with a smile: "Ahhhhhh~ you can't understand my map?"
The corners of Hyōketsu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this: "It would be weird if I understand it!!"
"In that case, I have to take you there myself."
White Zetsu drilled out of the ground, and then his whole body opened from the middle like a piranha's mouth, slowly wrapping towards Hyōketsu, "Don't resist, it's just a simple possession."
Of course Hyōketsu will not resist. If it is Black Zetsu's possession, he might hesitate, but for White Zetsu, it doesn't matter.
After being wrapped by White Zetsu, Hyōketsu moved his hands and feet. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he also gained White Zetsu's power. He could easily smash a tree trunk with the diameter of one meter with one punch!
'No wonder 100,000 White Zetsu can compete against 80,000 Allied Shinobi Forces regardless of the outcome. They are indeed not weak!'
"Hurry up."
White Zetsu felt that he was being treated as a tool, and urged with some dissatisfaction, "We are at least three days away from where Konan is. If she moved, it may take longer."
"Understood."
Hyōketsu shrugged, and moved forward helplessly.
